This option lets you control system power management. The system has vari-
ous power-saving modes including powering down the hard disk, turning off
the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down that allows the sys-
tem to be automatically resumed by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inac-
tive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If the inactivity continues so that
the timeout period elapses, the system enters a power-saving mode. If any
item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on
that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be
resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a
LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.

ACPI Function (Enabled)
This mainboard supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power manage-
ment Interface). Use this item to enable or disable the ACPI feature.
Note:
ACPI is a power management specification that makes hardware status
information available to the operating system. ACPI enables a PC to turn
its p eripherals on and off for improved power management. It also allows
the PC to be turned on and off by external devices, so that mouse or key-
board activity wakes up the computer.
